AZ Criminal Defense Group, PLLC – Deportation/Removal Defense

Many Arizona individuals are removed or “deported” from the United States on a regular basis. Whether they are lawful permanent residents, visa-holders or undocumented individuals, the removal process can be equally frightening and stressful. The Tucson Deportation Lawyers of AZ Criminal Defense Group, PLLC have a thorough understanding of how Immigration Court works and what is likely to happen in any given removal proceeding. It is unfortunate that so many people are required to leave their loved ones. It is even more unfortunate if a removed individual could have avoided removal if only he or she had the assistance of a qualified and skilled Arizona Immigration Attorney.

Common Reasons for Removal

There are a number of reasons why an individual may face removal from the United States, and those reasons typically fall into the categories of criminal conduct and violations of United States immigration laws and regulations. Individuals who are residing illegally in the United States likely understand the reason why they may be removed from the United States. However, individuals who are lawfully residing in the United States, but have a criminal track record, are subject to possible removal depending on the nature and severity of the crime. Even what may seem like a minor crime can be grounds for removal.

Potential Options for Avoiding Removal from the United States

Whatever the reason may be for why United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has initiated removal proceedings against an individual, there are a number of ways to avoid removal, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

Becoming a citizen through the naturalization process – In limited circumstances, a qualifying individual may be eligible to seek citizenship during removal proceedings, and this could prevent removal entirely.

Cancellation of removal – You have the option to file a petition challenging the decision to initiate removal proceedings against you. In order to qualify for cancellation of removal, stringent requirements must be met.

Asylum-based release from removal – If you are a refugee or asylee, you may be able to avoid removal if you are able to prove that leaving the United States would result in greater harm to you.

Voluntary Departure – If removal seems inevitable, you may have the option of voluntarily departing from the United States. This may provide you with the opportunity to lawfully reenter the United States in the future, after going through an application process.

Immigration judges have wide discretion when determining whether or not an individual should be removed from the United States. While quite a few individuals are ultimately removed from the United States, it is essential to fight removal if at all possible alongside a Tucson Immigration Attorney highly familiar with the removal process. Don’t take the risk of tackling a removal proceeding on your own.

Here’s What Our Clients Have To Say!

I didn't know where to turn with my legal issues but I was fortunate to find Chris Ariano. From the moment I met Chris I knew I could trust him unlike some other attorneys I had met with who seemed to only care about money. He always promptly returned my calls and emails and was patient and understanding with my fear of the process.

AMBROSIO SACRAMENTO

If I could kiss these guys, I would - but that would probably scare them coming from an old grandma like me. I didn't actually file for bankruptcy protection as there are laws out there that protect people after foreclosure. Mr. Ariano explained this to me in a series of meetings (we had three of them, to be exact). And he didn't charge me for any of his time. Who else is going to give you free bankruptcy advise that is actually worth something?
